ICE Storm "Pax"


Twice in the same year...heck, the same MONTH!!!! Ice Storm "Pax" started around 8pm on Tuesday night and continued to dump sleet and freezing rain throughout the entire day on Wednesday...with a small amount of snow mixed in Thursday morning. We had a least 3 inches of accumulated ICE (everything looked beautiful!!!! I have lots of pictures, but I can't get them to post right now for some reason). We have been out of school Wed.-Fri. for this. FOUR "snow" days total for us to make up from the same month...WOW!!! The roads were covered and NOT in condition to be driven on...so, luckily I stocked up on groceries Monday afternoon. I am in the minority for SC for LOVING being "stuck" at home with my boys (Roger got to come home early on Wednesday and he got to stay home yesterday...and Michelin NEVER lets them stay home for weather!!!)!!! LOTS of good family time!!! LOTS of sledding (on boogie boards and cookie sheets...haha)...Lots of yummy food was made/eaten, games played, movies watched, house cleaned and laundry caught up on...the roads are finally cleared up this afternoon (still some ice/slush on the yards), and since it's Valentine's Day me and the boys might venture out for some Sweet Frog (frozen yogurt) in a little bit, but looking forward to the weekend and some MORE time off with my boys!!! We'll have plenty of sunny, HOT days ahead to enjoy the pool, but we'll take EVERY snow day we can get in this house (Farmer's Almanac says we should get more between Feb. 21-16....can we make it three times in the same month?????)....time will tell!
